[DragonFire]

First, the media poll:

1. St. Xavier [16 FPV]
2. Great Crossing
3. Frederick Douglass
4. Bryan Station [Up 1]
5. Marshall County [Down 1]
6. Hazard
7. George Rogers Clark
8. Calloway County [Up 4]
9. Green County
10. Danville Christian [Up 3]
T-11. Covington Catholic
T-11. Manual [Down 1]
13. Warren Central [Down 5]
14. Butler [Up 2]
15. Adair County [Up 3]
T-16. Bowling Green [Down 2]
T-16. Clinton County [Up 4]
18. Ballard [Down 3]
19. Cooper [Down 2]
20. North Oldham [Up 4]
21. Woodford County
22. Male [Down 3]
23. Ashland [Up 1]
24. Bell County [NR]

-Marshall County's loss costs them just a single spot in these ranks.  Otherwise, the top 7 remains exactly the same.
-That win over Marshall County gives Calloway County a big boost.
-The losses finally catch up with Warren Central, who drop five spots.
-A rare week in which there weren't even 25 teams that were ranked.

*Still no ranks from Bluegrass Scoreboard.  Guess they didn't get the engagement they wanted, and dropped it.

*St. X still consensus #1 in all polls with all first place votes.  Two road games next week at Jeffersontown and North Oldham may present some challenge, but it looks like St. X is going to remain in this position through the end, and may not lose to a Kentucky team this year.  

*Great Crossing was back to a consensus #2 and Frederick Douglass a consensus #3 as KSR flip flopped them back.  No other team was conensus top 5.

*Danville Christian and Hazard join the above three as consensus top 10 teams.  Bryan Station was rated in the top 6 of three polls, but my personal "favorite" Kentucky High School Sports Zone dropped them all the way to 10th. Green County was also denied by KYHSZ, who had them 17th while the other three had them top 10.

*Kentucky High School Sports Zone continues to be the only one to rank Boyd County - though they did drop them to 10th despite no losses, which was... odd.

*There are eight unicorns this week (a team that was rated by only a single outlet).  Boyd County continues to be the weirdest of those.  As with last week, KSR continues to be the only one to believe in PRP (#14).  Additionally, we have South Oldham (NE 19), Trinity (KYHSZ 20), Simon Kenton (NE 21), Henderson County (KSR 21), South Laurel (KYHSZ 24), and Lexington Catholic (KYHSZ 25).

*Nations Elite seemed unusually harsh and overreactive to some results.  That Marshall County loss induced them to drop the Marshals from 5th to 14th, the only outlet to have the Marshals out of the top 10.  Warren Central was dumped 12 spots from 11th to 23rd after losing to Butler County, and likely would have fallen out altogether if they'd lost to Bowling Green.  

*KYHSZ had Adair County up to 4th this week.  I'm curious to see how far they drop after losing to Warren Central on Tuesday.  No other outlet had Adair above 10th.  

*17 teams were consensus rated this week (down from 20 last week):

St. Xavier
